here's how romney can do it too. don't forget romney won by standing his ground, being himself, holding to his pro growth principles. yes in the reagan camp the last battle for the heart and mind of the reagan. they wanted to make him into a rockefeller republican but he fired his campaign manager john sears on the day of the new hampshire primary, which by the way reagan won in a landslide and never looked back. reagan brought in bill casey to run the campaign. reagan brought back in ed meece. reagan then ran as he, reagan wanted to run. a tax cutting, government shrinking, deregulating conservative, strong on defense. he went up against a weak incumbent named jimmy carter and won in a landslide and after asking americans if they were better off than they had been four years before most folks said no and voted for reagan. so for me the moral of the story is this. mitt romney needs to run as a supply cider. reforming government, shrinking government, getting debt down, protecting the dollar, job growth creating guy.

right to john harwood we go and new developments on the mitt romney tax return release. over to you, john. >> reporter: maria, i just went over the romney return, which is very long at 379 pages with clint stretch, had a distinguished policy career at deloitte and made a few observations i wanted to pass on. first of all, this is a return that shows the power of being able to pay taxes at that lower capital gains rate than ordinary income rate. mitt romney had $5 million in income that was subject to regular tax rates but because of the deductions he had he was able to wipe that out and pay essentially only taxes at the 15% capital gains tax rate, and when you look at statement that his accountants put out, that over a 20-year period that he paid a higher rate than the 14% for this year, 20% as an average rate over that rate, keep in mind that for 11 of those years the capital gains rate was higher. for seven years it was 28%, for four years it was 20%, so mitt romney's tax returns over the years are likely to flow up and down with where the capital gains rate was at tha
